Here’s hoping to a winter wonderland with plenty of snow for the sculpting! It makes sense that Santa would be one of the most popular sculpture subjects at competitions around the globe, but the sheer size of some of these are a true testament to how large an influence Santa has on popular culture.

If the Santa Claus at your local department store isn’t enough jolly for you this Christmas, take a trip to a Santa Clause convention, where the most die-hard Santa Claus representatives span as far as the eye can see.

Beware of the 50 foot Santa! An inflatable Claus, a gigantic marionette, and an illuminated piece of art are only a few examples of Santa fanatics who may have gone a tad too far… or maybe not far enough?

That snowglobe sitting on the shelf just doesn’t look the same anymore, does it? These fanciful decorations are the perfect avenue for creative advertising in a mall lobby, or for some serious holiday decking out for any public space.
